1. Maintain Social Distancing

  

There is no vaccine for COVID 19 yet but Social Distancing will help you not to affected by virus. 

It is difficult to identify who is infected and who isn’t, so avoid close contact with people around you. If someone around you who is coughing or sneezing, try to maintain a distance of 1 meter and cover your mouth and eyes.

 

Since the disease spreads from person to person through the liquid droplets that are sprayed when 

someone sneezes or coughs, doing this can prevent the virus from entering your body.

 

2. Seek Medical Care Early

  

If you or someone you know is showing symptoms like cough, fever, or difficulty breathing, visit a 

doctor as soon as possible.

 

If you are a senior with a history of pneumonia or have symptoms of pneumonia, you need to be on 

the watch and report to your doctor for necessary tests. By doing so, you will protect yourself and also 

help prevent the spread of the virus.

 

3. Stay Informed and Updated

  

Download the Arogya Setu App from Play Store or App Store. Keep a check on Corona virus updates 

in your locality. Avoid parts of the city that have confirmed cases of the disease. Gather information 

through reliable sources like the World Health Organization (and not WhatsApp videos) about current

 prevention methods that have been put in place and follow them. National and local authorities have 

the most up-to-date information on the situation in your locality.

 

4. Practice Food Safety

  

Have separate cutting boards for meat and vegetables and clean them regularly.

Wash your hands after handling raw food and before consuming cooked food. Do not eat food from 

restaurants or stalls that don't have basic hygiene facilities like hand wash or sanitizer. Only consume 

food that have been thoroughly cooked because the heat kills the germs that may be present.

 

5. Travel with Caution

  

Avoid public transport that is crowded and carry tissues to cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. 

Put used tissues only inside closed bins, don’t throw them outside.

 

Avoid travelling altogether if you're showing symptoms like cough, fever, or cold. Avoid touching your 

eyes, mouth and nose while you are outside. Wear face masks in crowded regions, don't touch your 

mask with your hands once you've put it on.

6. Stay Calm & Relaxed

  

It is understandable if you feel anxious about the outbreak.

Get facts from credible sources and take reasonable precautions by accurately determining the risk. 

The World Health Organization (WHO), your healthcare provider, and your national public health 

authority are ideal sources of accurate information on COVID-19.

 

7. WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY

  

There is no cure for COVID-19 yet. But the best way to counter the disease for now is to wash your 

hands with soap regularly.

 

Wash hands before eating, after sneezing, or coughing, and after coming in contact with someone who 

shows or not shows the symptoms. Washing your hands properly can help you stay disease-free.

  

8. Carry A Sanitizer

  

Alcoholic hand rubs or sanitizers are the most convenient hygiene measure you can take. It is an 

effective and practical way to keep your hands clean in public places without getting your hands wet. 

Buy sanitizers that contain 60 to 95% alcohol.

 

9. Use A Facemask

  

If you live in a region that has reported cases of COVID-19, consider wearing a facemask before 

heading out. A face mask gives you basic protection against airborne germs and infections. 

Especially in crowded places and public transport, a facemask is a necessary step whether you are 

showing symptoms or not.

 

10. Disinfect Your Home

  

Wash your bedsheets and towels. Wipe down counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, 

toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and bedside tables every 2 days.

 

Keeping your house tidy gives you a safe space from infections.

 

11. Avoid Pets and Animals

  

If you have symptoms including coughing, sneezing and fever, avoid contact with pets and other 

animals. Although there have not been reports of pets or other animals becoming sick with COVID-19,

it is important to take precautions.

 

12. Don't Share Common Household Items

  

Avoid sharing dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels, bedding, or other items with 

family members. If a patient uses these items, wash them thoroughly.

 

By including these simple precautions against COVID-19 in your daily routine, you can reduce the 

chances of getting infected.

 

If you are living in India, things may not turn out to be so bleak, though. Some experts surmise that 

India’s hot and humid weather can be a defence against COVID-19, and it’s heartening to see states 

like Kerala (that contained the deadly Nipah virus) leaving no stone unturned in its battle against the

 coronavirus.

  

There is always the threat of silent transmission of illnesses, and no estimate is present as to when a 

COVID-19 cure will be found. However, by staying hygienic and following simple steps like washing 

your hands, you would be doing your best to keep yourself and your family safe.
